GENERAL PROVISIONS
Membership Privileges
OwnerCarryIt requires that each registered user maintain a valid email address and a password, which shall be utilized for logging on to the OwnerCarryIt system. OwnerCarryIt has the right to refuse service to any member, individual, organization, or firm (and all members associated or affiliated with said organization or firm) that refuses to abide by the terms and conditions herein, refuses to abide by the Listing Policies as posted and displayed on the OwnerCarryIt website, or abuses their rights related to the OwnerCarryIt service. Upon registration, which is free, Customer becomes a Basic Member. A Basic Member may search the OwnerCarryIt property listings Service, and will receive a subset of results of the available properties matching the Customer's designated search parameters. A Basic Member may also list properties on the Service, but such Customer's listings will only be available for the monthly service fee.
OwnerCarryIt utilizes email as a vital and primary communication channel with customers. As a registered user, Customers hereby acknowledge and grant OwnerCarryIt the permission to communicate with customers via email (as well as other communication channel such as phone and fax) for any purposes OwnerCarryIt determines to be relevant including, but not limited to, system messages, product updates, service announcements and other marketing messages. OwnerCarryIt will use best efforts to honor Customer's request to opt out of marketing messages, but under no circumstances will OwnerCarryIt have any liability for sending any email to its registered users/customers.
Submission and Administration of Listings
Listings are viewable on OwnerCarryIt.com until Customer stops paying for the placement. Payments are on the first of each month and run for the remainder of the month, regardless of how many days are in the month. Customer agrees not to submit any property descriptions, photographs, financial, contact or other information contained in each Property's data to OwnerCarryIt unless the Customer has received all necessary rights and authorizations, including from the photographer and/or copyright owner of any photographs, to publish and advertise the Property on the Customer's website or on OwnerCarryIt's website. Specifically, Customer will not submit a photograph if Customer received the photograph from a third party information provider under the terms of a license that does not allow posting of such photograph on the OwnerCarryIt website. The Company may, in its sole discretion but without any obligation to search for such, remove Properties that are alleged to have been submitted in violation of this provision. In addition, the Company may require additional evidence of compliance with this provision from Customers who are alleged to have submitted Properties or other information in violation of this Agreement. The Company will, in its sole discretion, terminate the accounts of, and refuse service to, any Customer who repeatedly or knowingly violates this Agreement. Customer agrees to maintain accurate contact information (specifically, a valid phone number and email address) in order to submit and maintain active property listings on the OwnerCarryIt website. Additionally, the Customer agrees to allow submitted Property listing(s), or any part therein, to be searched, displayed, accessed, downloaded, copied, and otherwise referred to by users of the Customer's website, the OwnerCarryIt website and other OwnerCarryIt partner websites. The Company shall have the sole authority to choose the manner in which any Property will be searched, displayed, accessed, downloaded, copied, and otherwise used on the OwnerCarryIt website and Company shall have the right to modify the property listing in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement. The Customer (a) represents and warrants that all Properties and associated information provided by the Customer will be accurate; (b) agrees that the Customer will not permit the posting of a property on the OwnerCarryIt system under a name other than the named licensed real estate agents that have been engaged by the property owner to market the property under the terms of a duly executed listing agreement with the owner; (c) agrees to administer the Properties provided by the Customer and maintain their accuracy at all times. The Company reserves, in a manner consistent with reasonable commercial business practices, the right to remove all or any part of the Properties posted on the Customer's website or on the OwnerCarryIt website. The Company accepts no responsibility for checking the accuracy of reports or data files submitted by the Customer. While the Company shall take all reasonable efforts for data backup and business resumption, the Customer will be solely responsible for retaining back-up copies of all information, photographs and other materials it provides to OwnerCarryIt. OwnerCarry.It may add digital watermarks to certain parts of your property listing, including photographs. We add these digital watermarks to protect against the copying or further distribution of your photographs without your permission.

The Company reserves the right to change its fees or billing methods at any time. The Company will provide timely notice to the affected Customers of any such changes.
